Ryan Pemberton @ryanpemberton.com · 03/10/2026It makes more sense when you consider the latitudinal distance between the capital cities in Northern Territory and South Australia, where the majority of the population in those areas live. 241
Ryan Pemberton @ryanpemberton.com · 24/09/2026My AI agent is going to be doing this, and if any government websites get hacked it's their own fault. 091
Ryan Pemberton @ryanpemberton.com · 14/08/2026Hey, at least they didn't find a negative correlation. 2212
Ryan Pemberton @ryanpemberton.com · 27/07/2026It was a lot less unpleasant a tone than I expected. Actually sounds nice with all that reverb. 010
Ryan Pemberton @ryanpemberton.com · 15/05/2026In my experience, I lose some peripheral vision and have small blindspot(s) in central vision. So I can see fine enough to walk around and do stuff, but if I try to read, I can only see the words i'm not directly looking at. 010
Ryan Pemberton @ryanpemberton.com · 09/02/2026It's been 10 years since he said they'd have people on Mars within 10 years. 010
Ryan Pemberton @ryanpemberton.com · 20/01/2026How good to finish that game and not have to wait for the sequel! 010
Ryan Pemberton @ryanpemberton.com · 19/01/2026The first statement in this article, "AI is improving exponentially," is extremely contentious. If anything, the big companies are spending more and more for increasingly marginal gains in performance of LLMs. www.wired.com/story/the-ai...wired.comThe AI Industry’s Scaling Obsession Is Headed for a CliffHuge AI infrastructure deals assume that algorithms will keep improving with scale. They may not. 010
Ryan Pemberton @ryanpemberton.com · 31/12/2025This rules. I was considering creating the map for my next TTRPG as though a child NPC from the game had drawn it - this is perfect for that. 110
Ryan Pemberton @ryanpemberton.com · 30/11/2025I like that they still used the normal headline as a subheading. 010
Ryan Pemberton @ryanpemberton.com · 13/11/2025Love the implication they would all lose touch with friends and family over the summer holidays and not just, y'know, use a different app or text. 010
Ryan Pemberton @ryanpemberton.com · 22/10/2025Or you're based in Germany. Unfortunately, it might be a cursed new YouTube feature. 110
Ryan Pemberton @ryanpemberton.com · 14/10/2025I've heard there are lots of functional substitutes. 010
Ryan Pemberton @ryanpemberton.com · 09/10/2025Yeah, I can imagine Americans using Man-OO-ka to help them get into an exaggerated Aussie accent. ManOOooOoka. 000
Ryan Pemberton @ryanpemberton.com · 09/10/2025There's a story that the Queen visited and pronounced it wrong and then everyone copied her, but that's almost certainly apocryphal. 100
Ryan Pemberton @ryanpemberton.com · 26/09/2025Similar experience. Very satisfying when it clicked. 010
Ryan Pemberton @ryanpemberton.com · 04/09/2025I often hear folks, who otherwise agree that Google monopoly = bad, saying that you shouldn't take away their default search engine deals because it would devastate Firefox and Mozilla. What are your thoughts on that? 110
Ryan Pemberton @ryanpemberton.com · 01/08/2025It looks like the decision was made prior to her win. Still messed up, of course. 170
Ryan Pemberton @ryanpemberton.com · 30/07/2025Imagine having such confidence in your perceptions that you believe that finally acknowledging something is happening must mean it has just started happening. 040
Ryan Pemberton @ryanpemberton.com · 22/07/2025Getting around Betteridge's Law of Headlines by tacking on "It Depends Who You Ask," is a bold strategy. 000
Ryan Pemberton @ryanpemberton.com · 22/07/2025Oh no, I thought this was good satire but it's in the article :( 040
Ryan Pemberton @ryanpemberton.com · 11/07/2025Worker owned journalism cooperatives are great. 404 Media, Aftermath and Defector are examples of this being done well. It mitigates some of these issues, but doesn't provide the same security and benefits as a job at a major publisher. 1180
Ryan Pemberton @ryanpemberton.com · 30/06/2025It's funny how he appeals to money as an incentive for making the world better and then lists three companies that are making the world worse because of harmful financial incentives. 070
Ryan Pemberton @ryanpemberton.com · 12/06/2025You're telling me you don't price Aftermath subscriptions by adding up your salaries and dividing it by the total number of subscribers? 000
Ryan Pemberton @ryanpemberton.com · 09/06/2025It was so easy to predict which publications were going with "caught in the crossfire" vs. "shot" it's embarrassing. 010

Ryan Pemberton @ryanpemberton.com · 01/06/2025If fire were being used exclusively to exploit workers and concentrate power in the hands of ultra wealthy, with no benefit to the public, I would be saying fire bad. Or at least, stop fire until it's been sufficiently regulated. 020
Ryan Pemberton @ryanpemberton.com · 28/05/2025I've budgeted for the couple of sites I read almost daily and if I wanted to pick another sub up I might have to swap one out. It's no different to how I think about paying for streaming services. I feel the friction, but it's only because we've grown accustomed to a cooked business model. 030
